AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION
RVL PRINTED LABELS
STATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance


In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on September
23, 2005, applicable to workers of Avery Dennison Corporation,
Statesville, North Carolina. The notice will be published soon in
the Federal Register.
At the request of the company and the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. The workers are engaged in the production of printed fabric
labels.
New information shows that in November 2002, Avery Dennison
Corporation purchased RVL Printed Labels and that workers wages at
the subject firm are being reported under the Unemployment
Insurance (UI) tax account for RVL Printed Labels, Statesville,
North Carolina.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.


The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Avery Dennison Corporation who were adversely affected
by a shift in production abroad.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-57,926 is hereby issued
as follows:
"All workers of Avery Dennison Corporation, RVL Printed
Labels, Statesville, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September 9,
2004, through September 23, 2007, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.”
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 19th day of October 2005.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on September 12, 2005, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Avery Dennison Corporation, Statesville, North Carolina.
The workers produce printed fabric labels.
The investigation revealed that a shift in production from the
Statesville, North Carolina facility to a country (Mexico) under a
free trade agreement with the United States occurred during the
period of investigation. Layoffs occurred as a result of this shift
in production.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers’ firm or subdivision to Mexico and other countries of
articles like or directly competitive with printed fabric labels
produced at Avery Dennison Corporation, Statesville, North
Carolina.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Avery Dennison Corporation, Statesville, North
Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 9, 2004 through two years
from the date of certification are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.”
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of September, 2005
